Laminating operations span a wide range of substrates and products. This field of application covers everything from paperboards to foil and films to woven and non-woven materials. Each operation and production run are unique, with specific requirements varying across the spectrum of products. Partnering with the right adhesive supplier is essential to ensuring quality, efficiency, and on-time delivery for your customers.

The Features:
Every laminating facility customizes its production lines to accommodate the unique requirements of each project. Variables include different substrates from job to job, fluctuating environmental conditions, and the specific properties the final product must meet as required by the end user. The adhesive used must align precisely with these demands to guarantee optimal performance and operational efficiency.

Key Performance Properties:
Different laminating projects require adhesives with specific performance characteristics. These properties directly impact the quality of the finished product and the efficiency of the production process. Critical performance factors include:

• Lay-flat Characteristics: Ensuring the laminated product remains smooth and free from curling is vital for downstream processing and customer satisfaction.
• Drying Time: Optimizing drying time is crucial to maintaining high-speed production without compromising adhesive performance.
• Time to Cut: The adhesive must cure in a timeframe that allows for accurate cutting without edge lift, adhesive bleed or build up on the cutting blades.
• Water or Chemical Resistance: For applications exposed to moisture, oils or harsh chemicals, adhesives must offer robust resistance to prevent delamination or product degradation.
• Opacity: Certain laminating projects require adhesives with specific opacity levels to meet aesthetic and functional criteria.
• Stiffness: Adhesives can influence the stiffness of the final product, a critical factor in packaging and structural applications as well as final product integrity and lifespan.
• Environmental Sensitivity: Adhesives must perform consistently under varying temperature and humidity conditions while also meeting sustainability standards where required.
